I am trying to complete the rest of my lessons on inductive university so I uninstalled ignition (already had it on my computer), reinstalled it, and logged into localhost with the admin/ password credentials. When I restore the project from the file I get from the lessons, and I try to launch it, it shows up as a gray screen with a Command, Navigation, Windows and Help tabs.

Since it is part of IU I won’t comment further, but it doesn’t look like any kind of bug. (Yeah, that’s a hint.)
